A Fermionic Orbital Quantum Simulator with Local Digital Tunnelling Gates
Fermions are ubiquitous in nature, and the study of fermionic systems with strong correlations lies at the centre of many fundamental and relevant problems in modern physics and chemistry. Any microscopic simulation not only needs to treat exponentially large Hilbert spaces but also has to accurately represent the fermionic exchange statistics. However, classical numerical methods suffer from a well-known sign problem, and conventional gate-based quantum computers employ distinguishable spin-1/2 degrees of freedom, which requires a significant algorithmic overhead for handling fermionic systems. FOrbQ will be the first quantum processor with digital gates that addresses the anticommutation…
